About the ASMV
The Australian Student Mineral Venture (ASMV) is a series
of vacation programs held annually throughout Australia. The ASMV is an
initiative of The AusIMM Education Endowment Fund (EEF) and is open to high
school students in years 10, 11 and 12. These vacation programs allow
students to find out about careers, lifestyles and opportunities in the minerals
industry and investigate university courses that would suit their abilities and
preferences in terms of subjects such as chemistry, physics, mathematics,
geology and biology.
The ASMVs are fully residential and supervised, with an
ASMV Administrator responsible for each Region's program. Students visit
mine sites, university laboratories and other facilities, and have the
opportunity to talk with graduates and industry professionals about courses and
careers in the minerals industry, working conditions and prospects.
Hands-on activities are emphasised, and student participation is required
through various activities and projects. The ASMV programs highlight some
careers that may be familiar to students and others that they didn't know
existed.
